You'd need a legal nonprofit to receive the donation. I suppose that you
could give the gift officially to the FSF, or to FSF Europe, with the
understanding that the gift is for use by the GCC Project. I'm sure that
RMS would go along with this. I don't know about the law where you are,
but in the US, this would enable you to get a tax deduction for the value
of the gift.
Would you like to ask RMS directly, or would you like us (the SC) to ask
him for you what the best way to proceed is?
